 Affirmations - A Poem  |
Affirmation:
If I need your approval to be great,
If your slander can tear me down,
If my dreams are subject to your opinion,
Then God bless me,
For I am lost.
If fear causes my surrender,
If doubt clouds my mind,
If my clarity is tarnished by my anger,
Then God bless me,
For I am lost.
If my aim in life lacks altitude,
If I am afraid to be great,
If the thought of failure holds me standing still,
Then God bless me,
For I am lost.
Everything I will ever need,
I have within my soul.
Everything I need to learn,
The universe will deliver.
Every truth that exists,
The infinity holds within.
Tap into that wisdom,
And let the rejoicing begin.
I will never be average.
I will fail 1,000 times at greatness,
Before I settle for good.
I will go out on the limb,
While the branch is breaking,
If I’m not falling down,
Then I’m not aiming high enough.
Fear is not a factor,
I can always get back up.
If something triggers my fear,
I will fight it until I have it conquered,
Or until I die…
Whichever comes first.
